Plan a comfortable Tsukiji visit
Choose one main meal rather than planning ten full meals: sushi or fish dishes for seafood, Kitsuneya or Toritoh for a change, then an egg snack or coffee if you have room. Check prices and serving sizes at each shop.
Market workers and professional buyers have priority before 9:00. Keep narrow passages clear, eat in the shop or designated areas, and ask before taking photos. Leave large suitcases in a locker. Check each shop’s current hours and market closing calendar before traveling.
